Ansible Jinja2 Template Tutorial Network Automation Cisco

In this Ansible Jinja2 Template Tutorial I will be demonstrating how to use Ansible to generate network configurations from templates for Cisco routers. Check out all my network automation courses https://www.rogerperkin.co.uk/network-automation-courses/ If you haven't yet installed Ansible - please refer to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIEVaCBGOUc This example is using Ansible installed on Ubuntu and takes a very simple 3 router template configuring hostname, loopback address and an enable secret password. It will demonstrate how using ansible for configuration management of network devices is very simple with Jinja 2 and YAML. Creating the Ansible Playbooks that will tie together a base config built with variables defined in a separate Jinja file This Cisco router configuration tutorial only uses 3 routers but it demonstrates the power of Ansible for Network Engineers and how it can scale to provide configurations for thousands of devices. In a later video I will describe once the network configuration has been built, how to push that to the device.
